Fort Saint Angelo
Fort Saint Angelo, perched in the heart of Birgu's Grand Harbour, is a bastioned fort with a rich history. Originally built as a medieval castle, it was transformed by the Order of Saint John in the 16th century, serving as their crucial headquarters during the epic Great Siege of Malta in 1565. Its impressive reconstruction in the 1690s, led by architect Carlos de Grunenbergh, gives it a striking appearance today. A visit here offers a captivating glimpse into Malta's past, not to mention stunning harbour views that linger long after you leave.
